Have An Unsolvable Problem? Shift Your Brain Into Low Gear And Climb It

There is always a way. Think!

A Russian Jew was finally allowed to emigrate to Israel.

At Moscow airport, customs found a Lenin statue in his baggage and asked, "What is this?"  

The man replied, "What is this? Wrong question comrade. You should have asked : Who is he? This is Comrade Lenin. He laid the foundations of socialism and created the future and prosperity of the Russian people. I am taking it with me as a memory of our dear hero."

The Russian customs officer let him go without further inspection.

At Tel Aviv airport, the Israeli customs officer also asked our friend, "What is this?"

He replied, "What is this? Wrong question, Sir. You should be asking, 'Who is this?' This is Lenin, the scumbag who caused me, a Jew, to leave Russia. I take this statue with me so I can curse him every day to his face."

The Israeli customs officer said, "I apologize, Sir, you are cleared to go"

Settling into his new house, he put the statue on a table. To celebrate his immigration, he invited his friends and relatives to dinner.

One of his friends asked, "Who is this?"

He replied, "My dear friend, 'Who is this' is a wrong question. You should have asked, What is this?

This is ten kilograms of solid gold that I managed to bring with me without paying any customs duty and tax."

There are two categories of confidence in accomplishing what seems impossible or solving what seems unsolvable. One is

physical secular, and solves earthly complexities. The other is spiritual sacred and accomplishes the holy things of God's will. 

The little story above  is an example of solving a human, physical dilemma to accomplish an earthly desire. Alexander the Great was highly accomplished in this area and declared to his troops, "There is nothing impossible to him who will try".

We could name dozens of famous people who have greatly succeeded in accomplishing things which seemed impossible.

But the far greater accomplishment of spiritual and sacred things, for God, are performed by Christians in the exercise of their faith. Jesus challenged his followers to have faith, and believe the promises of God which are humanly impossible. 

"Jesus said ... if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." Mk.9:23. 

How is that possible? Do we have the power or knowledge to perform the impossible? No, we do not, but God does.

"Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Matt:19-26.

Can God reverse the course of nature? Yes. Can God reverse the course of a nation? Yes. Can God reverse an irreversible political situation? Yes, and if we "believe" and act in faith, He will.

"If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chron.7:14.
